- In "The Right Stuff" Courtney realises that Ginger was trying to warn her about the de-bikini plot. At the end of the episode she says "I know who my real friends are". Which explains why she immediately went to help Ginger in "Wicked Game" - she was remembering Ginger's attempts to help her.
- Also "Of Lice And Friends". Courtney saw that Ginger was willing to go against one of her own friends (Dodie) to save her from public humiliation. Again she wanted to repay Ginger's selfless actions.
- Courtney's whole relationship with Ginger is based around her desire for true friendship. Miranda is clearly not a true friend to her so Courtney is fascinated by how close Ginger is with her own friends. Her whole taking Ginger under her wing could be out of a desire to see what real friendship is like. Having never experienced a real friendship, Courtney's reactions to Ginger helping her out tend to veer towards the extreme - driving over to her house to hug her, offering her guest house on Friday the 13th and saving her relationship.
- For that matter, "Trouble In Gal-Pal Land". Why is Miranda so miserable without Courtney? Because she's a social climber and very ambitious. In "No Hope For Courtney" she easily abandoned Courtney for the more popular Hope. Whereas here she could only hang around with Ginger and her friends - and she viewed them as inferior.
- In "The Right Stuff" Courtney notes about Ginger's bathing suit "it's so...vintage". Why is Ginger wearing such a modest bathing suit? Because she's hiding her hairy legs that her mother still won't let her shave.
- In "The Summer of Camp Caprice", Milton says what Carl and Hoodsey do for cleaning barely constitutes cleaning. But they actually do a good enough job that Milton's girlfriend doesn't even know he has a dog until The Reveal. So they did do a good enough job.
- In "Sleep on It", Hoodsey uses Courtney's teddy bear as a towel trying to soak up his accidental urination on her bedroom carpet. Courtney naturally freaks out and takes the bear away, although it's already covered in urine stains. Five episodes later in "The Right Stuff", a new teddy bear, which looks completely different from the one Hoodsey ruined, is now sitting in Courtney's room in the exact same place as the old one.
- The badness of the girls' school pictures takes on a new light when you realise what the "Fake-Up" was made out of. Ginger said the foundation was made of gravy. Of course you'd have a Cosmetic Catastrophe if your face was covered in gravy.
- And considering they also slathered it on their faces rather than applying it liberally, it's no wonder they were ridiculed.
- In "Carl and Maude", Hoodsey is initially unsettled by Carl and Maude's friendship and comments, "I don't even spend this much time with my own grandmother." Fast-forward to the next season's "Losing Nana Bishop"; Hoodsey is the only member of the family who is not sad at his grandmother's passing because he admits that they didn't spend much time together and he thought she didn't like him very much compared to Dodie. He later regrets these feelings when speaking about her at her funeral.
- In "Next Question", when Ginger asks her teacher on a date in the middle of a quiz competition, the camera pans across the audience. Literally everyone is in shock... except for one of the two Alpha Bitches from "The Right Stuff", who can be seen a few rows behind Lois. She's the only audience member who is smiling at Ginger's embarrassing deed. This is appropriate for the character since it was made clear that she enjoys humiliating and intimidating other students.
- In "Far From Home" AKA "Foutley's On Ice", when Courtney asks Winston to drive her, Dodie, and Macie up to the Avalanche Arts Academy where Ginger is, he's already committed to chaperoning Blake for a weirdness competition. Courtney rants, "Why is it Blake's misadventures always come before mine?" In Season 1's "Piece of My Heart", Courtney is forced to walk to the school dance because Winston is stuck with Blake who is working with Carl to steal a pig's heart from the science teacher, Winston being their getaway driver.
- In "A Lesson In Tightropes" Lois is waiting out Ginger's sudden appendectomy and thinking back to her daughter's childhood, the flashbacks don't have Jonas (her then-husband) in them but she wasn't remembering him because he was never really a part of his childrens' life.
- Maybe a bit of Heartwarming in Hindsight - but as mentioned, Dodie might have been friends with Ginger due to proximity, inertia, and convenience. But she attended the book reading and signing event in the Distant Finale. Perhaps Dodie grew up.
- This is supported by the times Dodie apologises for her mother's behaviour or distances herself from her. Obviously Ginger was a good influence who encouraged her to be a better person throughout life.
- Macie and Dodie often follow Lois's orders as if she was their mother, particularly in "Kiss & Make Up". Well Macie's parents are often so busy with their work they literally forget her birthday, while Dodie isn't wild about her mother and possibly respects Lois more. Lois even later tells the two that they feel like her adopted daughters.
- Courtney finding Macie's extremely kiddy birthday party "Campy" can be more than just Hilarious in Hindsight - her mother is clearly out of touch with what normal kid(s) should go through.
- Perhaps Miranda ditching Courtney wasn't just because of finding different girls that were higher up on the social ladder - Courtney threw Miranda and Mipsy under the bus to Ginger.
- Miranda may have actually started to mature a bit - she may not be antagonistic towards Ginger and her friends in high school because she just doesn't think they're worth it. When Simone goes to Miranda, she talks more about Darren.
- In "Summer of Camp Caprice", Sasha is sitting and shooting daggers at the assembly when the girls are "Expelled" for breaking so many rules. At first glance, it seems like he's angry because of how many rules were broken (As he's technically staff) but it can also be envy. Sasha may have had somewhat of a crush on Ginger (at the time) and knowing she went out of her way to save another boy - who she probably didn't even mention - made him quite envious. Technicall ybeing staff? He'd know about this ahead of time, too
- This also makes sense as to why he'd run over and kiss her at the end - despite this she still wrote and performed the song for him.
- Also from "Summer of Camp Caprice" when she lists all the count(s) of what they did wrong, chewing gum at an assembly is also added. Two lines from this
- The head counselor probably wasn't going to mention it... until she saw Macie chewing gum. (If anything she might have been lenient about the rule before!)
- The fact that there is a rule about chewing gum. This makes sense not only because teachers see it as disrespectful in class (some find it gross, not just Roald Dahl) but also because gum can present hazards to the wildlife if not disposed of properly. Animals will smell it, think it's edible, and then eat it - causing their digestive system to get blocked or even die of poisoning if the gum contains Xylitol.
- In "Stealing First", Carl and Hoodsey sneak on the trip by hiding in luggage containers. All of the luggage is placed on top of the bus and then thrown carelessly on the ground after the drive. They could've easily been seriously injured from such a fall.
- In "And She Was Gone..." Carl and Hoodsy basically wanted to murder Noelle with the vanishing power. What's worse is Carl only felt guilty because he thought he liked her, so if he had the option to actually vanish someone, which is basically killing them, he might actually do it.
- Not exactly the same, since the vanishing powder has a reversal potion which they were planning to get as well but just couldn't afford. So the plan was to 'vanish' someone just to see if they could with the full intention of reversing it. Arguably the episode shows why he wasn't callous - since he says they shouldn't vanish Blake or Brandon and he chooses Noelle since he thinks no one will miss her. Then when she does appear to vanish, he realises she wasn't just "living breathing wallpaper" but a person with her own life and identity.
- In The Easter Ham, the way Hoodsey cuts off Carl from his life (albeit temporarily) after Joann has forbidden her children around the Foutley family, it's one thing if he wants to evade punishment and his over dramatic and smothering Mother's wrath, but the way he robotically obeys her without a whimper or protest doesn't bode well for him to function as an adult and could likely land him in an abusive relationship.
- Granted he only cuts him off because they thought Joann just had a heart attack so they were probably being extra appeasing to her - but his father seems like a grounded man who wouldn't allow Joann to mistreat him too much.
- In "Ten Chairs", the Foutleys decide to cook their Thanksgiving turkey in a pressure fryer- a method that requires a lot of care for it not to go wrong. The show has the result of this being that the turkey crashes through the room and almost hits all the Foutleys and their guests. In real life, the result could have been a serious fire. Although the fryer was outside, it was right next to the house. In addition, the pot was practically filled to the brim with oil before the turkey was put in. Although the oil level stayed the same as Dr. Dave lowered the turkey, in real life, this would easily cause the oil to overflow and likely ignite, which could have easily set the house on fire based on how close the fryer was. Not only that, but later, the busted fryer and oil can be seen spilled all over the Foutleys' driveway. Good thing none of that oil was ignited from the fryer's heat.
Fridge Sadness
- What Courtney and Blake probably went through - they weren't at the book signing in The Wedding Frame.
